Love and Salt is a story that begins with Cafe Pierre, a restaurant birthed by Guy Gabriele in 1977 to bring a taste of France to Los Angeles’ South Bay. While Cafe Pierre was a beloved part of the community for nearly 37 years, in 2014, Guy and his daughter Sylvie Gabriele, now the owner of Love and Salt, closed the restaurant to bring new life to the iconic space.Love and Salt is a philosophy: that food needs only two ingredients to be great. It’s a sensibility that informs the feeling in the restaurant and the dishes on the menu — Italian-inspired with Southern California soul. An approachable wine list and classic cocktail program similarly reflect the vibrant SoCal setting of the restaurant, located just steps from the Manhattan Beach pier.

Had a very wonderful experience. We had arrived for my mother’s birthday. We were properly placed at our table and was received by a very pleasant waitress. I had forgotten her name but I wish I hadn’t. 😞 she was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

We were going to an event in the area and needed to find a place to eat beforehand. Paul Martin's was great! Loved the tangy caesar dressing on the salad...the brick chicken and the short ribs were both fantastic...and perfectly creamy mashed potatoes. Will probably go here again to try the lighter items - fish and tacos, for example. Great restaurant on our first try!
